Where Words Are Not Ordinary

Take me away before the scorching heat kills me,

Hold me until drops of rain calms the restless land,

Hide me beneath the canopy of a tree,

Make me invisible through your soothing love

I have been hiding in the darkness of my soul,

To escape the noise of mindless living,

I even picked up flowers of love and happiness,

Before I became immune to all emotions

They tried to reduce me into nothing,

Even crushed my self-esteem and dreams,

But I fought like anything to walk tall like a warrior,

Though winds have changed yet I fear of being in control,

Sometimes by a foe and sometimes by friends

Hither Kusum
